There is a howto on installing the TL-WN722N adapter [http://elinux.org/RPi_Peripherals#Wireless:_TP-Link_TL-WN722N_USB_wireless_adapter_.28Debian_6.29 here], which also acts as a guide for installing others too.

'''Working'''

These adapters are known to work on the Raspberry Pi. This list is not exhaustive, other adapters may well work, but have not yet been tried.

Problem Keyboards

Microsoft Wireless Desktop 800 - Keyboard has 'sticky' keys.

USB Mouse devices

USB mouse devices that present themselves as a standard HID (Human Interface Device) device should work. The following is a list of specific mouse devices known to work and which appear to be fault-free.

These adapters do NOT work, or need further investigation to make them work:

(empty at the moment)

USB Bluetooth adapters

USB Ethernet adapters

USB IR Receivers

USB TV Tuners

USB UART adapters

The USB UART adapter is used to access the serial console of the Raspberry Pi from a development host such as a laptop or desktop PC. The USB end connects to the PC and the UART header end connects to the USB. While it is possible to connect the USB end to another Raspberry Pi, this configuration has not been tested unless explicitly mentioned against an individual entry below.

Power adapters

Alpha board: Stontronics S2097ST switching PSU, 7.5V 1.6A

SD cards

Note that manufacturers change their designs over time, even as the specs stay the same. (E.g. an ACME 8 GB class 4 card manufactured in 2011 might work, while one manufactured in 2012 might not.)
For this reason, please specify product numbers in the lists below, when possible.

Working Cards

Adata Class 10 8GB (AUSDH8GCL10-R)

Dane-Elec 16Gb class 4

Integral Ultima Pro 16GB Class 10 (20MB/s)

Kingston SDHC 8GB class 4

Samsung SDHC 8GB

SanDisk Ultra 2GB Class 4 (15MB/s)

Sandisk Ultra II SD 2GB class 4

Sandisk 2GB (non sdhc but with a circle 2), writes at 3.5 Mb/s

SanDisk 8GB SDHC (class 4); writes at ~1.5MB/s

Transcend SDHC 8GB class 6

Transcend SDHD 4GB class 4 - we've found these to work without any errors and offer reasonable performance

Known good (and pre-loaded) cards will be available for sale from the RPi foundation at a later date (TBA).

Problem Cards

There are issues with most Class 10 SDHC cards, apparently due to a bug in the Broadcom bootloader.[1]

Patriot Class 10 8GB (PSF8GSDHC10)

SanDisk Ultra Class 6 8GB (B11201421964G)

The usual warnings against less reputable sellers (such as Ebay merchants) apply.
